The man spoke to me
Saying, "Son, you owe us,
You owe your nation.
No pressure, but make the right choice."
So off to war I went.
My father spoke to me
Saying, "Son, you're a great man.
You will serve our country,
and make your family proud."
So off to war I went.
My wife spoke to me,
Saying, "Dear, I love you so.
You are putting your life on the line
and I am afraid, but go do your job."
So off to war I went.
My children spoke to me,
Saying, "Father, we need you here
and we do not understand,
but go out there and fight for us."
So off to war I went.
My fellow soldier spoke to me,
Saying, "If I had one choice,
I would get out of this here trench,
and go be back home with my family."
But off to war we went.
My Lord spoke to me,
Saying, "Son, you fought the good fight,
and now is the end for you.
It is only now that you see that war is only death."
So off to heaven I went.
Saying, "Son, you owe us,
You owe your nation.
No pressure, but make the right choice."
So off to war I went.
My father spoke to me
Saying, "Son, you're a great man.
You will serve our country,
and make your family proud."
So off to war I went.
